In the context of online banking, where Windows of some flavour is the
desktop OS, I see a substantial risk arising through spyware and/or
viruses. I suspect that a neat way to mitigate this would be to run an
OS from a CD which offers nothing more fancy than a basic web-browser.


Is there anything like this already available?
